As the pace of Microsoft SharePoint adoption continues, most organizations are turning to third party add-ons to support demands for functionality. It's for these reasons that experts compare SharePoint without add-ons to an iPhone without apps. Third party add-ons, however, arrive pre-packaged with unique security risks -- vulnerabilities that IT cannot directly fix.
This presentation will (1) identify risks associated with using SharePoint plug-ins and web parts developed by third parties (2) describe how hackers target and exploit third-party code using attacks such as SQL injection (3) Introduce a three-layered approach to securing SharePoint.
